It is my 40th birthday on Tuesday and so I am taking a few days off from blogging as I am having a party next weekend and have LOADS to do to get ready for it.

While I am away I wanted to bring you a little giveaway. If you would like to have the chance to win a set of my recently published scrapbooking range all you have to do is tell a friend about my blog & let me know that you have done it by posting a comment below before Feb 20th, please make sure you leave your email or user name so that I can contact you if you are the winner.
The winner will be chosen by a random number generator. 

Good Luck!

You can find these gorgeous crocheted hearts here on Etsy at Violas Boutique

This cute little jar or heart pegs is available from Kikki.K along with lots of other lovely things

Head over to Not On The High Street to find these sweet little Lavendar Hearts, they can be personalised at your request too

This new online UK store sells heart shaped everything! I also love the heart engraved stone, White hanging hearts & Porcelain Gift tags which would all look beautiful in my new studio when I move.

The Real Flower Company

What with moving to Guildford in the Summer I have been researching the local area and came across this most amazing company. How utterly gorgeous are these flowers arranged & sold by The Real Flower Company . They are based in Petersfield & grow their own roses, foliages & herbs at their farms in both Hampshire & Kenya. You can order online or via their shop in Midhurst or Selfridges London. Wouldn't it just be an ultra special day to receive something so amazing.

There is not a lot more I could say, but I feel that the images speak for themselves:

Welcome by the way, to all my new followers! x

Print & Pattern

Lazy Summer

I am very excited today because I have just received samples of my very first Scrapbooking range launched  this month.

Here is a quick picture of the range I got in the post this morning, sorry, it is a bit of a rubbish photo! I'll post a better one when I get one.

Amandas Attic

Hi Guys

Check out these gorgeous buttons I found on Folksy. Amanda makes to order, she can also offer custom orders if you have any crafty projects in mind. She uses top quality fabric & lines them with interfacing for a quality finish. Here are a few images of what she has to offer, but you can see loads more in her shop.

* Please note than Amanda is planning on going travelling at some point, so if you want anything from her lovely shop then hurry, because you never know when she may head off....

Little Lucy Willow

As you know I am moving house in the summer and I have been browsing the internet for white French style furniture, which I love but can probably never afford. Whilst searching I came across Little Lucy Willow - a Children's Furniture & Accessories website. I have fallen in love with the range I show below, however I don't have kids so won't ever indulge. You can see their gorgeous website here

Tiny Hands

As you've probably gathered by now I am on a diet, I have been doing really well though & lost over a stone in two months! anyway going without the good things in life such as cake, ice cream & chocolate is REALLY difficult, as on the diet I am on I'm not even allowed a small amount. Therefore coming across tinyhandsonline.com was a bit of a double edged sword, Mei sells these gorgeous miniature goodies in the form of jewellery, looking at them made me want sweet stuff even more, but I just had to show them to you as they are just wonderful. Here are a few piccies!

This is Smudge

Today I wanted to introduce you to the new addition to my family, his name is Smudge & he has been with me since Sunday. Unfortunately I had to have my last bunny put to sleep just before Christmas (I used to have 4 at one point!), she was 8 so a good age & I have been missing her, so I went to see a breeder in Surrey & ended up coming home with this little cutie.


He is an 11 week old mini lop. He lives in my house at the moment and I let him in the garden for a few hours a day, he is like a little dog in that he lies by my feet in the living room :-)  he also has a big plastic box in my studio where he chills out while I am working (see the last piccie), he is a very relaxed bunny and so friendly, however having him around has meant that not much work has been going on! 


Have a great weekend everyone! x

Sophia & Matt
